Parent & Student Resources

Tuckahoe Junior High School opened in the fall of 1959 on twenty-three acres in Henrico County. It was one of the first campus-style schools in the state of Virginia. At that time, its 10 buildings had 56 classrooms designed for 1,200 students. Bland Building’s ten classrooms were added soon after. The word “Tuckahoe” appears in several locations in this region of Virginia, and refers to a sturdy plant that provided nourishment for the early American Indians.

In 1971, Tuckahoe, located in the Three Chopt District, became a middle school for sixth through eighth grades.
